chrisozer Last week I got to meet and shoot a little bit with @hirozzzz — an excellent New York based photographer. He shared some of his editing tips using the Blender app, which I used on this photo. #bluronpurpose
Beautiful. Makes me miss NYC.
How dare they snub our Fassy!! ok I get that he didn’t get an oscar nomination, but no one is talking about him during these oscar talk abouts. It’s like they were told not to mention Fassy, McQueen, or Shame.
“The pro game of acting is very difficult. You go into that editing room and there is empirical evidence of what you’ve done. And no matter how good they say you are, well over half of what you do is pure shit. You can be totally self-annihilating about it if you want.”
Jack Nicholson (born April 22, 1937)
Do you always enjoy shooting?
Satyajit Ray: Yes. Every stage of it, and not just the shooting. First, it’s finding a story that excites you. Second, it’s converting the story into the terms of a screenplay. Third, it’s casting, which I do myself. People just come to my house. There’s a knock on the door, and there’s somebody waiting outside with acting ambitions. I usually keep a photograph, name, address, and vital statistics. Eventually, I may send for the person. This has happened many times. Then, of course, there are costume design and the set. I’ll sit down with my art director to decide on the props. For this particular film, The Chess Players, all the props were period ones. All the shawls, the lovely ornamental things the characters wear, some of them have come from museums. But most of the have come from private collections in Calcutta. Then the shooting itself is exciting, despite all the difficulties. Next come the rushes. Most exciting of all is sitting at the Movieola and cutting, which is when the thing comes to life. I do my own music, also. That, too, is exciting.
You really are a filmmaker, then, and not a film director.
Satyajit Ray: I am a filmmaker. It says so on my passport. Auteur!
This is what I love about filmmaking too. You can be involved in so much, and learn so much, and give back so much to the world.
The Wolverine will film in Japan
The Wolverine continues to inch its way ever closer to our screens, with Fox announcing that filming will take place in Japan, where much of the story is set…
That is an amazing sketch. Makes me want to see this film.
